Calling all trucker heroes and insurance wranglers! Buckle up for another wild ride with the Trucking Risk and Insurance Podcast. Two grey-bearded safety guys take their irreverent look at the trucking pitfalls, risks, and trouble with trucking insurance. They invite the trucking elite on the show to discuss.
This week, John Farquhar, the Summit Risk Solutions, and Chris Harris, the Safety Dawg with more bite than bark, are swerving past potholes of peril to deliver the straight goods on keeping your rig safe and your insurance rates lower than a limbo dancer in flip-flops. We’ll be dodging disasters, dissecting dispatches, and dishing out tips hotter than fresh asphalt. So, grab a lukewarm cup of joe, crank up the air horn of knowledge, and get ready to navigate the trucking terrain with laughter and a whole lot of “you ain’t seen nothin’ yet” stories. It’s the Trucking Risk and Insurance Podcast – spilling the beans on safety and savings, one mile at a time.

Innovating Trucking Insurance with HDVI's Telematics-Based Model
This episode of the Trucking Risk and Insurance Podcast features guests Justin Allen and Mark Brest from HDVI, discussing their innovative, telematics-based pricing model for trucking insurance.
This model offers a more accurate, performance-based approach to insurance pricing, focusing particularly on small to mid-sized fleets and owner-operators in the United States. By analyzing 90 days of telematics data, HDVI can offer discounts of up to 20%, potentially saving fleets substantial amounts in annual premiums.
The discussion highlights the benefits of using telematics data for real-time risk assessment and insurance cost reduction, emphasizing the need for trucking companies to utilize their data effectively to improve safety and insurance rates. HDVI's approach also includes providing dash cams to insured fleets, enhancing their ability to defend against or mitigate claims.
The podcast wraps up with insights on the future of telematics in insurance and the importance of adopting technology to stay competitive.
